“Alexander did not Hellenize so much as he ‘Macedonized’ the world; he propagated not #Greek philosophy or civilization so much as a mode of relating to a culture only partly one‘s own. Insofar as the cultural influence of Alexander‘s #Macedon prefigured the world‘s subsequent Romanization, it is to #Alexander ‘s indeterminate identification that one might trace the tangled roots of the Romans‘ own #universalism.”
—Liebert 2011, p. 558.

The 1st thing I did when we got home was check on the #alpacas & #sheep.

They had plenty of water & were grazing, but I gave them some lupins & lucerne. Just to be sure.

My better half watered our fruit & vegies. Again, just to be sure.

Then we headed up to #GoGo’s at #Macedon & had a meal at the neighbours eatery.

I had an all day #breakfast & the better half went for #pancakes.

After that - we headed back home for a nap. 🤗

We were invited to go to the opening of a new eatery in #Macedon (GoGo’s café), for #breakfast at 6:30 this morning.

I woke throughout the night, checking the temperature as it went down & down.

When the temp hit -3° Celsius I stopped checking. (There’d have been #BlackIce on the roads & my #asthma would go nuts the second I went outside.)

The new plan is we go there for #lunch today instead. 👍
